Hello, this is my first time posting, but I think bolstering django's error ouput system could be helpful as last week I spent a good amount of time debugging some issues related to django migrations
1. I began implementing DRF with DRF-Api-K <https://florimondmanca.github.io/djangorestframework-api-key/>ey and ran into this issue when trying to runserver without having first properly migrated DRF-Api-Key migrations to my SQL Server database. I forgot to add `rest_framework_api_key` app name to my database router so that django would know to migrate that app's migrations. It had been a while since I'd been in the db router code, and it was my mistake not to double check here first. However, it would be nice if django's runtime checks could have caught this and told me that I was implementing an app's code without first migrating, thus hanging the server (as opposed to having no console output at all), which in the beginning stages of implementing a new library, having no console warnings or errors makes things a bit more difficult 2. My app uses SQL Server for a backend (with django-mssql-backend driver) and a lot of tables are created by my team manually as opposed to with django and django migrations, thus not requiring a primary key or even an id field. On top of that, I use `inspectdb` command a ton and it is one of my favorite django commands/tools, if not one of my favorites of all time, but the problem is that inspectdb didn't add `primary_key=True` to the id field in the sql server table, because it wasn't declared in the table schema. What's really weird is that I was able to setup django and run ORM calls on that model in a python shell to test it before testing the DRF API against the new model with runserver, so I didn't think to double back and ensure that the id field had primary_key=True in its instantiation. I didn't end up figuring out the reason until 30 minutes later when I decided to run migrate and an error popped up in the console. It would be awesome if this error also popped up with runserver Had both of these issues not happened in the same day I probably wouldn't be bring this to your all's attention, but I think beefing up the migration runtime checking and adding some if its checks to runserver as well would be amazing! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
